New Iphone stuck at install Now during update! Got a new iPhone13 from work and I'm trying to setup and transfer data from old phone (XR). Everything went smoothly until it said update required. Look at the screen, the version number is cut off!! Pathetic for a premium product! And it took more than 30mins to download and now has been stuck at install now for 2hrs! Looks like I have no option but to start over. Any other suggestions? And no it's not internet connection, mine is pretty fast!

New Iphone Stuck on Install Now Software Update 17.0.3 I have a new iphone 13 mini and am transferring my old iphone 8 data to the iphone 13. I have tried to do this twice after waiting a really long time for the software update to complete, then it said, "install now" - well I thought I already did that which is what the progress bar was for? And now the wheel next to "install now" is just spinning endlessly doing nothing which is what it did on our first attempt. There is nothing wrong with my internet and my iphone 8 is up to date. What do I do?!
